The location of this home offers breathtaking views atop Lookout Mountain. The design of this kitchen takes advantage of it from every angle!

The kitchen features white cabinets and granite counters beneath numerous tall windows. This kitchen is clean and sleek and while the cabinets and counters are lovely, they create the perfect backdrop to enjoy the gorgeous views. The combination of recessed lighting paired with the glass globes on the pendant lights are in keeping with the airy feel of the room. While the vaulted ceiling makes the space feel even larger than it is.

It’s amazing what an exterior renovation can do for an old house. This home in the Riverview area of North Chattanooga, TN was outdated and in desperate need of renovation. The architects had a grand plan that involved adding dormers and gables to add visual interest and texture to this home.

Outdated Facade

Front of Home Before

The exterior renovations included:

The white brick was painted a more neutral gray tone.

Stone was added to the columns, front of the house, chimney and mailbox.

The driveway was fitted with stone and the sidewalk was repositioned and laid with stone.

New doors, windows and garage doors were installed.

A new roof was installed with dormers and cedar shake gables.

New landscaping was installed.

Let’s Move Inside

In addition to updating the exterior, the interior was completely overhauled. The interior remodel involved removing lots of walls, creating a vaulted great room and replacing windows with glass doors to bring the outdoors in.

A Home for All Seasons

The back yard had huge potential, but was under utilized.

Screen Porch

Backyard Transformed

We built a new screen porch with outdoor kitchen, stone fireplace, columns & floor and a tongue in groove vaulted ceiling. A tiered patio with boulders, in-ground pool and sunning areas completes the backyard oasis. It’s the perfect escape after a long day. The doors open all the way up across the front and back of the house to make the most of entertaining in this gorgeous home!

The open floor plan concept is trending, and for good reason. Aside from the fact that there is simply more space, the concept allows for better use of space. These days people are busy. And families are spending more and more time doing different things. The open plan concept allows everyone to do the things they want [need] to do in the same space. Mom can cook dinner while the kids are doing homework and dad is watching the news. Everyone can be together while doing separate things; something that is impossible in traditional plan homes.

Removing walls and opening up the space can make a huge difference in a house. Rooms that were once used occasionally, such as a formal dining room or sunroom, are now being opened up and used to create a larger kitchen or great room. The entire “feel” of the home can change when a wall is removed!

This custom bar inside the new screen porch of this beautiful Lookout Mountain home was a culmination of the owner’s love of all things old and Arts love of design challenges. The iron window was Art’s design using the owner’s collected beveled window panes. The custom iron framework was designed and built for the space incorporating the salvaged glass. The bar consists of a custom cabinet with sandstone top featuring an old whiskey still transformed into the sink. The cabinet was designed so that the still is viewable both above and below the counter. The ice maker is on a pull out tray for ease of access and there is ample storage in the 2 lower cabinets. No bar would be complete without a refrigerator!

What Our Customers Say…

We found ourselves in a big mess when one of our shower walls collapsed in our house. With one phone call Art was there. He had the best crew on the job, he helped us find the right tiles and found the plumbing problem that caused the wall to collapse. I wish I could explain how amazing and reassuring Art was. He took the time to walk us through the whole house checking for other unseen problems.

When all the work was done, Art stopped by a week later just to check in on us and make sure we were happy. Believe it or not, he showed me things I could do on my own at little to no cost to improve my home and its value. He wasn't as concerned with us spending more money as he was making sure we were happy with our home. I am amazed that a business like this exists.

Whether it is painting, remodeling, or anything to do with my home or property, Art Johnson and Mtn City Construction is the first call I make.
